Any suggestion who I should go to weld sanitary fittings (1" ferrules) to kettles??

Will pay in beer (of course!). Thanks in advance...

Well, I wasn't able to score any of the old kegs as I hoped...
Does anyone know where to get them legally? Thanks for your help!

saw this today in KC's craigslist...

Ted, I am in the same boat as you are. Never brewed, but very motivated to learn and get started. Thanks for posting as I too am learning a lot from the replies.
